INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450º F.

Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom in small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Whisk 3/4 cup evaporated milk and eggs in separate small bowl until blended. Add to flour mixture; whisk for 30 seconds until smooth. Pour batter onto melted butter in hot pie plate. Push pear slices gently into batter, forming a pinwheel. Sprinkle with sugar-cardamom mixture.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5

Heat remaining evaporated milk, egg yolks, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon cardamom in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce coats back of spoon. Do not boil. Makes about 1 cup. Spoon sauce over warm Pear Clafoutis and serve.
